Chin Augmentation
Chin augmentation enhances the contours of the face and strengthens the appearance of a receding chin by increasing its projection. Chin augmentation can be achieved through the use of implants and/or by readjusting the chinbone.
Chin Augmentation Candidates
Chin augmentation can create a stronger and more balanced profile for those with a receding chin or "fleshy" neck. A well defined chin can also balance a prominent nose.
Personal Chin Augmentation Consultation
During a chin augmentation consultation at our Wisconsin practice, Dr. Campbell will examine your chin, including dentition and occlusion. Digital imaging helps Dr. Campbell determine which type of chin augmentation to use to achieve the results you desire.
The Cheek Augmentation Procedure
Chin augmentation with implants includes placing a prosthetic implant over the chinbone (mandible) through an incision under the chin or under the lower teeth inside the mouth. If the teeth do not fit together properly, orthognathic surgery can sometimes be performed to improve occlusion as well as chin appearance.
Recovery Following Chin Augmentation Surgery
Recovery following chin augmentation at Campbell Facial Plastic Surgery is usually mild. Slight swelling can last several weeks to several months and make the area look slightly over-augmented, but this is seldom significant and patients are usually back to work in less than one week.
Chin Augmentation Results
The stronger chin and profile that is created by chin augmentation is visible immediately, but due to some swelling, final results may not be visible for several months. The results of a chin augmentation last a lifetime.
